It takes a village to produce research with impact. This is the idea that motivated us to write this paper, published today. Kudos to the team: @lluisdanus.bsky.social @william-dinneen.bsky.social @carotorreblanca.bsky.social @guygrossman.bsky.social @asc.upenn.edu

"...In the short term, struggling through a scientific paper can be a humbling experience."
Grateful to be part of this network!
Psychophysics & sample size debate
👀Small “n” isn’t automatically weak
📊Large “n” isn’t always the only path to rigour
This Perception Editorial revisits a long-standing tension in vision science
Small n does not mean poor research.

Really happy to have presented my first poster at #VSS2026! There were so many great posters and talks. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and heard me talking about Perceptual Confidence on Auditory-Induced Visual Position Biases. I hope to see you all next year with more great science :)

Confidence dinner at #VSS last night. The group is getting larger each year!
Perception / i-Perception
The strongest version of this illusion I’ve seen! Absolute head-wrecker!
I think it's important for neuroscientists to reinforce this too. It's the first thing I teach in my cog neuro class.
A thing isn't more real just because it's found in the brain. Every psychological thing must be in the brain at some level
I am looking to hire 2-3 post-docs over the course of the next few months to work on questions related to cognitive control in humans, broadly construed. EEG, TMS, DBS, sEEG, fMRI or related methodological experience preferred.

Last week we kicked off our first lab meeting of the new academic year. No scientific presentation this time. Instead, we were tasked with designing experiments to answer some *truly critical* research questions.

Trainees need to learn how to identify and understand a neuroscience paper’s major takeaways without outsourcing the work to large language models.
Just wrapped up our amazing CODE intermediate meeting at @bcbl.bsky.social in San Sebastián 🌊!
Our PhD students shared their progress, and we got to hear incredible keynotes from Silvia Lopez-Guzman, Máté Lengyel, and Robbe Goris. So many great conversations! Excited for what’s next🚀!
